Oh, but before I do that, Ive got a little honorable mention to get to first. This isnt going to be a regular thingat least not until were closer to the end and my top tier should be more obvious. But I happened to have written this write-up already, and in the interim period, this character dropped out of my top fifty-two, since he got replaced by someone else making a strong push. Given that I already have the write-up ready though (and Im pretty sure I referenced it at least once or twice more on the list), I figure Ill toss it onto the front end here, before we get to the real meat of the ranking.

Honorable Mention: Harry Matthews

This one is hopefully going to be shorter than the last one, because its a lot more straight forward. The Spectre is one of the numerous big bads in the campaign, and Harry Matthews is meant to be emblematic of the more twisted punishments the Spectre can dole out. He was just a normal guy, going about his normal life, and he got caught in the crossfire. Suddenly, a businessman became a talking pillow, and that pillow is hilariously detested by most of the people in the bar.

But Harry doesnt let that antipathy get him down, no no. He has a near-permanent positive outlook on life, save for a single moment when the crushing weight of his horrific life finally got to him and he snapped. Every story he has to tell is one of complete anti-climax; nothing exciting or unfortunate ever happens, and everything works out in a perfectly average fashion for him. Meanwhile, Pepper is a scientist, and whenever she goes into the Oblivion Bar (where all the magical folk hang out), she feels uncomfortable and introverted. Who better to serve as her safety blanket than a literal pillow who is incapable of depression, and is always there to talk up the positives? Its just a cute little dynamic, and in an often-times bleak campaign, Harrys upbeat presence is a shining beckon of happiness and positivity.

Also, in light of his recent removal from my top fifty-two, who better to take it in stride than someone whos likely just happy to have gotten a write-up of any kind from anyone. Gee, I bet this really makes his day all the same.

Hint for #52: A colorful character.
